Tom DeLonge FULL MTV Buzzworthy Interview + Everything's Magic Lesson

[@germancarfan]

Tom is one of the reasons I started learning the guitar

[@liamking719]

How do people hate Tom DeLonge? Seems like the nicest guy ever

[@ItsKirgan]

Liam King He really is. I've met him a couple of times at shows. Most of the haters are butthurt people who cant drop and let go of the 2005 blink breakup. There was one time on the last UK AVA tour, people were doing the usual crowding the bus round the back of the venue hoping to see the band. Eventually after a while, Ilan Rubin got off the bus (he was going to get coffee from starbucks), and people asked him where tom was, to which Ilan replied, he wasn't on the bus. So people started to head away from the bus toward the front of the venue. Once the big crowd had left, there was me and a handful of friends left..we were just standing around talking. And I was wearing my AVA hoodie. About 5 minutes after everybody left, who comes stepping off of the bus? Tom himself. Said he saw my hoodie, and that there was only a small group of us, so he decided to come off and say hi. He spoke with us for a good five minutes, asking how we're liking the shows, will he be seeing us at the upcoming summer blink shows etc (This AVA show was in April 2012 - Blink would tour in the summer), took pictures with us, said goodbyes, then headed back to his bus to get read for warmup/soundcheck. REALLY is a great / inspirational guy. Its a shame more people can't see that side of him instead of living in the past.

[@liamking719]

That sounds awesome! It's my dream to meet the guy, he's so damn inspiring, my absolute hero

[@suicidesilence4444]

+Liam King ive also met him once when I went backstage before an ava concert. Angels and airwaves really is tom and tom really is angels and airwaves. Tom's exactly how his music is.

[@goldenhourkodak]

+Liam King Do your research. He can be a huge prick sometimes.

[@antonionsfw]

it's an asshole but i love him

[@skatenfilm66]

This man is no Hendrix or Gilmour by any means, but he is a damn good songwriter. You're an inspiring musician, Tom!

[@raymon8044]

Tom wrote 'All The Small Things' as a joke because he thought the record label wanted a radio hit song. It took him about 10 minutes to write.

[@v3nom39]

His songs seem so simple yet they are so clever, and their is always like a special little technic in their, i think thats really cool.

[@Buddha612]

"Walking and Chewing Gum" Maybe not the best example Tom

[@garystone7854]

Buddha612 hahahah he was taking the piss out of himself I think!

[@ugandanknuckles7760]

Exactly what I thought lol

[@onwisconsin1794]

"It's like walking and chewing gum" 😂😂. I love this man

[@david-nr4ok]

I’m dead bruh lmao

[@maccaronnyy]

such a weird analogy but i know exactly what he means. it’s so damn difficult to play and talk at the same time. my brain breaks.

[@chobes1827]

He says he was thinking of a "punk rock anthem" when he wrote Everything's Magic and ironically it ended up having a similar riff to Anthem Part 2 which is quite literally a pop punk anthem (hence it's title).

[@greenhazeee]

Basically anthem part ll with root notes

[@mattlemasters557]

I've been saying that ever since I heard "Everything's Magic" plus in this video he played the opening to "Anthem pt. 2" before adding the root notes haha

[@iamtheblackwizard88]

sounds like dust in the wind by Kansas lol

[@Speedy28Gonzales]

I love this man. Hes so inspirational to me.

[@michaeldaley3113]

This guy seems really nice hope he makes it 😁

[@nicolaheimbecker4017]

I adore him. Listen to AVA everyday.

[@lilstjimmy]

Tom's little "bup-da-bup" when he plays the chorus at 4:43 was so cute

[@Phoenix_On_Fire]

I'd love to hear more of him talk about his songs and how he plays them.

[@bguzi23]

This guy is a legend I wouldn't have been successful in guitar if it wasn't for him!

[@lilnis9]

Same lol

[@damiendantonio5550]

Tom is a total legend and was 75% blink

[@lehcar82]

He's right, I have to stop walking while I'm chewing gum.

[@Benjam1n-03]

1:28 Circles by Dag Nasty, Tom uses an almost identical progression in the pre chorus of Wishing Well

[@kynansmusic9724]

Tom DeLonge is so amazing!

[@cokduata316]

this is the reason why tom called genius, simple but classy

[@kornpleiks]

wow tom just teach me how to play everythigns magic

[@Sush9546]

same

[@bluewhye8832]

He bassically said that he ripped iff anthem pt 2. He reffered to it as this old punk rock "anthem". Cool. I love the reuse of riffs. In my mind everything's magic beats anthem pt 2 into the ground.

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

He wrote "Anthem Part 2" lol Musicians borrow from themselves all the fucking time. Lol

[@bluewhye8832]

@@Hey-Its-Dingo i know. I'm not hating on it. I love that part of Tom. The reuse of riffs I enjoy actually.

[@martinsun3654]

Tom might just be the greatest pop punk song writer Ever! U.u

[@iwanslibber]

youre so awesome tom !!!!

[@KLPV79]

Thanks, now i know where that actually comes from. The loop is closed, good night guys!

[@nickrye4213]

good to know I'm not the only one who can sing and play at the same time, but can't hold a conversation and play at the same time.

[@TurkeyBushGamer182]

Am i the only one who thinks that Anthem Part Two & Everything's Magic has the same notes at the beginning?

[@KailynNelson]

TheNuggetGamer they're pretty close. He uses a lot of the same chords or similar stuff. but i'm pretty sure everyones already noticed that ha

[@TurkeyBushGamer182]

Kailyn Nelson oh ok haha, good to know im not the only one lol

[@Fraaip]

+Dean Winchester It's identical minus the A

[@euge584]

It is but with the extra lower notes but it's basically the same.

[@emmanuelbongar7370]

2:45 literally Anthem Part 2

[@abrahamfranco4698]

That's why Many years ago l loved guitar, as l do. Inpiration

[@AttackCityMedia]

He inspired many young musician that had no skill to play music.

[@justinTime077]

What is that guitar? Every time Tom has an acoustic in his hands the tone just blows me away. I need one.

[@danielangelc]

It is a taylor, not sure the model but it must be online. He uses gibson for acoustic now

[@chaseanderson1039]

Who cares if people hate Tom, non of that matters. He's a genius!

[@itaintmebabe714]

Shout out to Brian Baker ❤

[@juve276]

"it's like walking and chewing gum or something" hahah awesome

[@gus2757]

A lot like anthem part 2

[@darryljames6403]

From what ive seen alot of people like to disregard toms playing abilities because in their opinions hes a mediocore guitar player and they often come to those conclusions after comparing his writing and playing to other players that are far more technical due to the music theyre playing and what i find silly about that is alot of em probably dont even play any instruments at all lol the thing is not every player needs to be a EVH or tosin abasi level player to get their message across to the fans, as long as the player is playing from the soul and the fans can relate and are moved by whats being played thats all that matters ......IMO of course.... ive been a guitar banger for over 20yrs strong now and have a broad range of playing capabilities and i personally tend to find the more simple riffs and chord progressions to carry more depth and be more impactful at times as a listener...

[@ItsKirgan]

@quickisdeadly12 That would be the song 'Heaven' by Angels & Airwaves :)

[@cynled1986]

💕

[@Ivy_Writer]

Its ok, I can't walk and chew gum at the same time either.

[@ItsKirgan]

@xMasian Hey, it works ;) why not :P And he created the Anthem pt 2 riff anyway, so its not like hes stealing it or anything :P

[@mastod0n1]

1:50 but Mark wrote the What's My Age Again riff?

[@AndreLuis-pn1gi]

no, Mark wrote Dammit

[@joshuahelmreich9966]

Does anybody know what song he's talking about at 1:12?
